PIC32 CAN Library Using MCP2515
CAN Controller*
Summary
The PIC32 CAN Library is based on the MCP2515 CAN
controller. The MCP2515 is connected to the PIC32
microcontroller via the SPI port. The Library provides
seamless access to the CAN controller over the SPI bus.
Key Features
■ Library provides enumerated interface
■ Well-documented API functions
■ The library supports 125 kbps,
250 kbps and 500 kbps bus speeds
■ The MCP2515 supports a maximum
SPI clock speed of 10 MHz
Applications
■ Automotive applications
■ Data loggers
■ Physical layer for custom communication protocols
*This library is not for use with PIC32 MCUs with integrated
CAN controllers. The CAN APIs for integrated CAN controllers
are available in the MPLAB XC32 Compiler.
IEEE 802.15.4 and Sub-GHz MiWi™
Development Environment
Summary
The MiWi Development Environment (MiWi DE) is
Microchip’s proprietary wireless solution which helps
customers develop wireless applications and reduce the
time to market. The protocol is optimized for low-power,
low-data-rate, cost-sensitive application. It also offers
a smaller footprint relative to the open standard-based
ZigBee compliant protocol stack.
The main advantages of the MiWi Development
Environment are:
■ Ease in architecting and deploying wireless networks
■ Portability of applications across different Microchip
RF transceivers
■ Ease in scaling network topologies under the MiWi
protocol framework
The MiWi Development Environment package includes
support for Microchip’s proprietary protocols.
